Forgive or forget: Understanding the context of hate in audio retrieval systems

arXiv:2606.05857v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Handling toxic retrieval in text-to-audio systems is challenging due to contextual dependencies. Existing strategies (e.g., rephrasing, summarization) risk altering intent or omitting details. We propose a post hoc causal debiasing framework with a sentiment-controlled mediator to preserve semantic relevance while suppressing harmful speech. Our approach is model-agnostic and integrates seamlessly with existing retrieval pipelines. We introduce two variants: Forgive, which re-ranks and filters toxic audio via logit adjustment, and Forget, which g
